CHINA/Hong Kong

 

China's implementation of labelling for GE genetically

engineered)foods today brings to two billion the

number of people worldwide whose country's require GE

labelling. Greenpeace welcomed the move, which

provides incentive to other nations in Asia to

implement labelling, and also increases pressure to do

so on Hong Kong local authorities, which have stalled

the process. At the same time, the Chinese regulation

strengthens the position of the European Union (EU),

which has been under threats from the US of

WTO action over new EU proposals for process-based GE

labelling. View:
